Although forcing root at install time isn't ideal, I wouldn't recommend
holding the release for it. From our perspective, building as root on
SLES10 can be addressed in a future release.

We'll try to gather more information, and add it to bug 233. This is an
intermittent problem, which of course makes it more difficult to debug.
I know SDP is still a work in progress, so if the fix is not obvious,
the right answer may be to document this in the release notes for 1.1.
Can you add information to the bug about the fix you tried in the RC6
pre-release candidate?

Thanks, Betsy
